More passive haste rating. It seems Blizzard has decided to change things up a bit in itemization (for rogues, at least) and start adding "Ignores armor" and passive haste rating. Needless to say, there isn't much out there that can beat this.

erm any1 know where does this loot drop from ?

Comment by solos2

This is reward from ZA timed event - loot from a chest pretty much like kara chess event.

Comment by Andii

This item drops from "Harkor's Satchel" in Zul'Aman with approx a Very Low (3% - 14%) drop chance. Harkor is one of the sacrifice victims you save, so his satchel is timed loot.

Patch 2.3.2 fixed the issue with this item not dropping in Zul'Aman its a loot from the first chest while doing the timed event.

For rogues, this item is a definite upgrade from Drape of the Dark Reavers.

You might be deterred by the loss of 17 hit rating. Please realize that hit rating and haste rating actually do the exact same thing: they increase the number of auto attacks that hit the boss. Because they also convert at the same rate, you can safely weight them equally. In which case it should be obvious that 25 haste > 17 hit.

It's not a huge upgrade, but an upgrade it is.

Edit: apparently my comment was a little confusing. I fully understand the different mechanics of hit and haste. My point was that the net result (the increase to your auto attacks) is the same, even tho the two mechanics gain that increase in different ways. Regardless of your current hit or haste rating, 25 haste will always increase the number of auto attacks that hit the boss by more than what 17 hit would give you.

Was just wondering if this has been seen to drop yet.

According to the theorycraft I have done this is in fact the best dps cloak in the game pre-2.4 for feral druids. Surprising given that haste rating is reasonably "meh" for us, but the agility and attack power are quite nice.

Great for BM hunters if you can make use of the haste. Hit does start to become an issue once you hit tier 6 content, but there are few other viable upgrades before you get the back from Teron. The halberd is a good item, but the S3 axe or double Mojos or Mojo+trackers blade is what you'll want to use leaving you with a bit less hit.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but why on earth was my post purged?

It was the only one on the page giving information that apparently is not well understood about a stat that's somewhat new to this game.
